About the Kribensis

Name: Kribensis

Max Size: Kribensis, scientifically known as Pelvicachromis pulcher, reach a maximum size of around 3-4 inches in length.

Water Parameters: Kribensis prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Maintain the water temperature between 75-82Β°F and a pH range of 6.0-7.5. They appreciate clean and well-oxygenated water, so proper filtration and regular water changes are important.

Diet: Kribensis are omnivorous and have a diverse diet. They will accept high-quality flakes or pellets as their staple food. Additionally, supplement their diet with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small insects. Including some vegetable matter in their diet is also beneficial.

Temperament: Kribensis are generally peaceful and can be kept in community aquariums. However, they can become territorial during breeding or if kept in smaller tanks. Provide them with plenty of hiding places and territories to minimize aggression.

Tank Setup: Provide a well-decorated aquarium with plenty of hiding spots using rocks, driftwood, and plants. Kribensis appreciate areas with dense vegetation and caves for breeding. Maintain a sandy substrate to mimic their natural habitat. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are essential for their well-being.

Compatibility: Kribensis can be kept with other peaceful fish species in a community aquarium. However, avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping species that may stress or harm them. Choose tank mates of similar size and temperament.

Behavior: Kribensis are known for their vibrant colors, with males displaying more intense hues compared to females. They are generally calm and exhibit interesting social behaviors, especially during breeding. Males may become more territorial and display courtship rituals, while females guard the eggs and fry.

Fun Fact: Kribensis are highly popular among aquarists due to their striking colors and interesting behaviors. They are considered "dwarf cichlids" and are known for their ability to change colors based on their mood and breeding status. Kribensis are also attentive parents, with both the male and female taking an active role in caring for their fry.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
